Heal endo : an anti-inflammatory approach to healing from endometriosis

Edmonds, Katie, (author.). Martin, Dan C., (writer of foreword.). Cook, Andrew S. (Gynecologic surgeon), (contributor.).

Getting an endometriosis diagnosis shouldn’t feel like a life sentence. Because endo is an inflammatory disease, your diet, lifestyle, and treatment choices will impact how your disease behaves, whether through improving your symptoms, reclaiming your fertility or through the stunning possibility of disease remission. Heal Endo puts the power back in your hands to reclaim your life from endometriosis. Based on hundreds of published scientific studies, this handbook clearly lays out the personal actions that can help put you back in control, starting today. After reading Heal Endo, you will understand: What endometriosis really is, and how it develops; That there are different types of endo that affect our bodies differently; The specific anti-inflammatory food and lifestyle factors proven to help; How bacteria is the secret endo-trigger few people are talking about, and how to address it; The role hormones play, and simple ways to support healthy levels; Which chemicals are associated with endometriosis, and how to avoid them; Why surgery is an important tool, and why the type of surgery matters greatly; and, While a "cure" may not (yet) be available, remission is the option you should aim for.
